 Sunday night at Marsh Plaza, cyclists gathered in order to make a trip to South Station. From there they were headed to Hopkinson, in the beginning of the Boston Marathon. In 2009, Greg Hum, 25 of Cambridge, started a Midnight Marathon ride on the route with just a few of his friends. But words started spreading and now it's an event with over 600 participants and even special collaboration with sponsors and the MBTA. But before bikers boarded the train to the starting line, Patrick Herman, 21 of Boston, organized a meet-up to help guide local bikers to the station. This is my second year doing the Midnight Marathon and the reason why I did it was I really liked long bike rides with hundreds of other people and last year was such a great experience. I want to repeat that this year. My name is Jameson Kish, I am 22 and you know honestly I'm just really excited to do this again. This is my second year doing it and you know it's grown so much from last year. At least assuming Facebook is correct, it's grown so much and I'm really excited to see it this year. About two hours past midnight, the cyclist started crossing the finish line, being cheered by supporters standing where hundreds of people would be standing to watch the marathoners in a few short hours.
